Common Orthopedic Conditions Treated
Back Pain & Spinal Injuries
Many veterans face chronic back pain or spinal injuries caused by the physical demands of military service. Whether from heavy lifting, trauma, or repetitive stress, these injuries can have a lasting impact. Xterra Health specializes in connecting these conditions to your service, providing thorough evaluations to support your VA claim.
Arthritis
Arthritis, particularly in weight-bearing joints like the knees, hips, and shoulders, can often be traced back to repetitive motion or injuries sustained during service. Our detailed medical assessments help establish a clear link between your military service and the development of arthritis, ensuring your condition is recognized by the VA.
Joint Pain
Service members often endure joint pain due to the physical strain placed on their bodies. Whether from wear and tear or injury, untreated joint pain can worsen over time. Xterra Health’s compassionate team will document the connection between your joint pain and military service, providing the evidence needed to support your claim.
Bone Fractures
Bone fractures sustained during service can have long-term effects, especially if left untreated. Over time, these injuries can lead to chronic pain or other complications. Our orthopedic specialists at Xterra Health provide comprehensive reviews to link these fractures to your service, ensuring they are properly documented in your VA claim.
Knee Injuries
Knee injuries are common among veterans due to the intense physical demands of military training and combat. Injuries like ligament tears, joint degeneration, or cartilage damage can cause significant pain and mobility issues. Xterra Health helps veterans connect these knee problems to their service, ensuring your injuries are clearly documented and supported in your claim.
Shoulder Injuries
Many veterans suffer from shoulder injuries related to the physical demands of their service, including heavy lifting, repetitive motions, or combat-related trauma. These injuries can limit your range of motion and lead to chronic pain.
